G'day, I am a complete novice ( senior ) learning photoshop courtesy of the generous folk who post tutorials on the web and contribute to forums such as this.
I recall seeing a tip using History tool to erase part of an image to reveal an underlying image.
I have opened two images, same size, on the one canvas creating a background and layer 1.
When I erase using, the History tool, I get a white patch not the unjderlying background image.
I would appreciate any directions to achieve the correct result.
Erasing with the History tool
Hi
I tried what you were doing and didn't have much luck with it. However, I think that the effect you want can be done perhaps easier by using the regular erase tool. Set it as a very soft fuzzy brush and make sure that the image you want to erase is the top layer. You might even want to duplicate the top layer (Ctrl-J ) and then turn that layer off. That way you can toggel between the two and see how the effect is going.
Hope this helps ya
